LG Bendy Phone Hits OZ $1000

It bends but it won’t break – LG Australia ‘G Flex’ – one of the world’s first curved screen smartphone – that curves to the contours of your face will be available in February at Harvey Norman, only.

However, with a $1000 pricetag curves ain’t cheap.

The state-of-the-art, handset has a 6-inch HD Curved P-OLED display, a magic “Self-Healing” elastic rear coating that eliminates scratches and a 13MP rear camera. The processor is yet to be confirmed.

LG believes flexible screens are to be the future of smartphones, and has also developed Curved OLED TV’s.

The ‘G Flex’ will be available at Harvey’s from February, outright for $999 or via Optus ‘My Plans’ including a $60 option.

It is not compatible with Telstra or Vodafone 3G networks.

The handset’s comfortable grip and technology promises better voice quality – the curved design cuts the distance between the user’s mouth and the microphone, increasing the sound level.

The G Flex also has all the buttons on the rear, allowing users to control it with their index finger in a natural position, like LG’s other newbie, G2, which has many of the same features, but costs around $650.
